Scognamiglio v. Modero
Scognamiglio v. Modero
Opinion of the Court
This is defendants’ appeal from a judgment entered in favor of plaintiff in the District Court of the First Judicial District of the County of Hudson, by the trial judge, sitting without a jury.
Defendants were the owners of a store and apartment. The plaintiff was their tenant. When the lease was made plaintiff deposited $250 as security. Before the expiration
The trial judge also found that the defendants had accepted a surrender of the premises.
The defendants complain that the latter finding was not within the issues raised by the pleadings. To this the answer is that evidence showing acceptance of a surrender of the premises was competent under the pleadings, and it will be presumed that at the trial there was evidence justifying the finding, nothing appearing to the contrary.
We believe that these observations dispose of every question argued which seems to justify remark.
The judgment will be affirmed, with costs.
